I am desperate and frustrated

[TimJeffcoat]

Hi everyone -I continue to have the most irritating problem and really hope someone has a solution. I am working on an album of drumline and cinematic percussion and really need to have a midi drum kit (or midi drum pads) connected to my DAW. My issue is latency. When I connect my Yamaha MIDI kit or a Muse Kinetics MIDI BopPad, the information I play is always lagging what I hear, even after I adjust for latency in my DAW setup. However, when I 'play' drums using my Arturia Keylab keyboard, no discernable delay. I am using Ableton 11 for my DAW and an HP Envy PC running Windows 11. Any ideas as to how to solve this? I suspect it might be that Ableton on a PC requires that you use an ASIO driver, and that might exacerbate the problem? Aggghhh this is so frustrating!
